Although I have a hint about why this is happening, I’d really like to hear your thoughts on it and get some good solutions to clean up or minimize the spam.

This is not about spam alone, but its annoying when you see that some topics were just created out of nothing, with subject matter on what has always been discussed several times a good example is ''gambling addiction'' personally, ive noticed that more threads have being created on this same particular headline, when it has on several occasions been discussed, another reason is low quality contents, if the thread created doesn't deserve being a topic of discussion base on the contents in it, then it would have been better to be a reply than a new topic, many are spamming, posting low contents, creating topics which are irrelevant, not that we cannot create any new topic again, but the reason for doing that must be something unique and constructive.

Do you think you need multiple threads to discuss the same thing? A few days ago, another forum member created a thread asking why there are three threads on the gambling board just about the Premier League and why the moderators did not lock or delete them. Now you are asking why moderators are locking some threads. You never know if those topics are locked by the moderators or by the author.

If those threads are locked by the moderators, you should know that they did it for a reason. It's probably because of a duplicate thread. You don't have to write all your posts in the gambling section to participate in campaigns.
I don’t see the same topic, sorry.

But it’s not just about a thread in the Premier League. If you look at the gambling discussion, there are a lot of threads being locked there too. That’s why I thought of starting this thread, to get some ideas on “why” this is happening and “what we should do to prevent it.”

What does this mean?

Are you blame the moderators for tightening the moderation in gambling discussion? the forum have rules.
Are you blame the campaign managers who set 5-10 posts in gambling board instead of pay per post or not require certain amount post in gambling board?

What we can do? then try to create a new thread (of course not the low quality one), post in endless discussion e.g. sports, ANN thread.

I’m not blaming anyone here, so no need to worry! I’m just here to share my observations and help us figure out a solution.

This isn't about pointing fingers but finding ways to make things better. I'm not blaming campaign managers either; I'm just noticing that many threads are getting locked (you can even check now), and that usually means there's a spam issue, right? So maybe if there’s better coordination between campaign managers, it could help reduce the spam. After all, we all want to see less spam, especially in sections where users are required to post regularly.

Here’s something else I noticed: some users have a lot of merits but aren't really active in the gambling board. Yet, when they apply for campaigns, acceptance often depends on how many merits they have. So, once they're accepted and required to make 10 posts in the gambling section, what kind of valuable posts are they really going to add if they weren’t gambling posters to begin with?

You don't have to write all your posts in the gambling section to participate in campaigns. Most campaigns requires you five to ten posts in gambling section in a week. So, it's less than two posts a day. It's not hard to find at least two interesting thread a day.

We know that many posts in the gambling discussion come from active signature campaigns, often run by casinos. These campaigns typically require a certain number of posts per week, like 5 to 10. With so many members, the number of posts just keeps increasing. Additionally, campaign managers are always on the lookout for active users in the gambling board, so even those without current campaigns might post there to increase their chances of landing a new one.

If this trend continues, mods will likely keep locking threads to manage the spam.

So, what can we do about this? As a regular user who enjoys participating in campaigns, I can't help but noticed this.
